You know what makes me sick?
"In his State of the Union address of 29 January 2002, President Bush asserted that 'America will always stand firm for the non-negotiable demands of human dignity'. Among these non-negotiable issues, the President listed 'equal justice'.
Two months earlier, on 13 November 2001, he had signed a Military Order on the Detention, Treatment and Trial of Certain Non-Citizens in the War Against Terrorism (''Military Order''). Its provisions are applicable only to foreign nationals. Any person placed under the Military Order would be denied fair trial rights that the US authorities would recognize for similarly placed US citizens, in violation of international law guaranteeing equality before the law and prohibiting discrimination, including on the basis of nationality."
"The Bush administration launched a massive campaign of preventive detention, based on little evidence of wrongdoing. The INS jailed hundreds of people, without even alleging involvement in Al Qaeda or 9/11.The sweep proceeded under an unprecedented veil of secrecy and under a presumption of guilty until proven innocent" (Cole)
I can't believe that 66% of Americans are "willing to surrender civil liberties to stop terrorism." (ABC-Washington Post survey)
IDIOTS. By giving up our rights to privacy, we are in sense giving up what it means to be American. 4th amendment, you fools.
These igorant paranoid freaks may feel that jailing hundreds of people that looK suspicious makes them feel safe for the time being, but why don't these patriotic flag toting morons think about the long-run and what it really means to give government the right to invade our privacy?
Don't wave around a flag and then damn everything it stands for by persecuting innocents and blindly allowing the government to take away your rights.
I can't wait until the next election.
And if the Bush Administration makes abortion illegal and takes away a woman's freedom of choice I might just have to shoot him before he runs again.
